<h1>FSFE makes copyrights computer readable</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) is proud to release its next version of our REUSE practices designed to make computers understand software copyrights and licenses.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <a href="https://reuse.software/">REUSE practices</a> help software developers make simple additions to license headers which make it easier for a computer to determine what license applies to the various parts of a programs source code. By following the REUSE practices, software developers can ensure their intent to license software under a particular license is understood
|
|
and more readily adhered to.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Together with the updated practices, which mostly clarify and make
|
|
explicit some points, the FSFE is also releasing a set of
|
|
developer tools and examples which show the REUSE practices in action.
|
|
Three example repositories, together with an example walkthrough of the
|
|
process used to make the cURL project REUSE compliant, are complemented
|
|
with a simple tool to validate whether a program is REUSE compliant.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>
|
|
With our REUSE initiative, we hope to inspire software developers to
|
|
think about writing copyright and license information -- the metadata of
|
|
software -- in ways which make them easier to parse programmatically.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
says Jonas Öberg, Executive Director of the FSFE.
|
|
</p>
